Food was amazing and would be THE spot in the area to go. Lunch, Dinner, it wouldn't matter - there would be a wait. With every visit over the last decade or so, my experience continues to decline as the food and service has suffered with time. What once was a staple meal has become a poor iteration of what once was. Bread is obnoxiously thick. The flavors on the ingredients feel off. It's disappointing. Still feel like there's a chance this spot recovers in time but with their expansions - this location has suffered.

Beechwood Inn's Hardwood Grille operates as it's own business inside of Erie Brewing Company, even though it is basically a part of them - kind of like the kitchen used to be in a lot of taverns. But none of that matters when it comes to the food you can get. I most recently ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos - medium rare, of course - and damn! were they good! Everything I've ever had here has been top-notch, and it all pairs exceptionally well with the beers offered at Erie Brewing Company. The staff are some of the most 'folksy' people around and you can see that they truly care about their Customers in the way they talk and act. They operate just like a short-order diner would - fast and efficient - but they never sacrifice any part of the meal they serve to do it. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to shut off the pager when it starts ringing to tell me my order is up...cause I'm usually on the other side of the room when it goes off! This a great place for lunches or large get-togethers and I can't recommend them highly enough!

4/18/25 Ate List:…read moreCrispy Chicken Salad - 8.1 This mound of food is affectionately called a salad. Somewhere beneath the fries and chicken there is a ton of lettuce, cheese, onion, tomato, and hard boiled egg. It's always a touch humorous to have your bowl arrive, be bigger than everyone else's AND have the luxury of technically being "a salad." It's delicious. Lorie's is also a staple for my family. Whenever I visit, I'm typically adventuring across their breakfast menu, and I've never been disappointed. Service is kind and some of the fastest I've experienced. This spot deserves to be in the Erie "Hall of Fame" restaurant wise, but I feel the fact it is not, adds to the charm. Love this spot and I hope you do too.

We're rounding up from a 4.5 - we really enjoyed dinner at this local eatery, recommended by the…read moreowner at the Lake Breeze Motel. He caught my attention with the Thursday special of chicken and biscuits, so we checked it out. There's a small dining area - maybe 15 tables? - and a bar, so it's a bit snug and every table was filled when I went in to get a menu, thinking we'd do take-out, but there was no wait when we decided to do dine-in. We had to wait a short time for the server to get to us, but she was great - good recommendations for narrowing down our choices and just the right amount of attentive after we ordered. I started with the crab cake appetizer, which came with a zesty sauce. I enjoyed them, although I'm used to flattened crab cakes and these were more ball- shaped. I had the chicken and biscuits, which was very tasty - nice chunks of white meat in gravy, over real mashed potatoes and generous biscuits. The cole slaw was just right - crunchy and a little sweet, not overpowered by mayonnaise. Partner had the shepherd's pie, which, as our server cautioned, was heavily seasoned with thyme, but had great flavor and a nice mix of vegetables under the mashed potatoes. I wish we had had space for dessert! The menu is *really* inclusive, from prime rib to pasta to burgers to vegetarian options and a kid's section. There's something for everyone here!

In response to Milen D's recent review of Firestones(which I witnessed)…read more I honestly can't decide what's more embarrassing: your experience at the restaurant or the fact that you thought this review was worth posting. You apparently walked in expecting the entire establishment to revolve around your very specific demands, got disappointed, called someone a "clown," accused them of lying, and then produced this barely decipherable masterpiece of nonsense. The staff didn't fail you--you failed to understand where you were, what they offered, and apparently how restaurants work. And judging by the grammar and coherence of this review, I'm not sure you were in any condition to be evaluating anyone else's performance. Being unhappy with a meal is one thing. Throwing a tantrum because a restaurant didn't conform to whatever bizarre expectations you had in your head is another. Do everyone a favor next time: stay home, lower your expectations, and let the adults enjoy their dinner without having to witness another episode of The World's Most Confused Customer. The restaurant got one bad review. You got permanently immortalized as the person who wrote it. I'd say one of those is considerably harder to recover from.

The smells of smoke and beer and short-order cooking...the sounds of mindless sports shows on the TV - even the Price is Right makes for good watching...the murmur of the type of chatter that seems so important at the time...I miss all of these things so much, but I'm here to tell you, That Place on 26th St still has it all and they deliver both barrels! The place was PACKED, so I didn't try to get lunch yesterday, but I'll be heading back very soon cause the reason the place was PACKED was the food they were serving - the day's special was stromboli and one after another came in and ordered one or two or three, some stayed and ate, some left with their orders, but the flow never even slowed! Yes, smoking is permitted, but so what? If that bothers you, you're probably better off in a safe little corporate "pub". THIS is a REAL tavern and they are worth more than a try. Stop in, grab some beers and a bite and enjoy all the memories they bring up!

OK. We can pivot. Let's look to see what is nearby. The first option given by Google was this place, Two45 Waterfront Grille. Photos looked good so we headed there. Location is good, next to the Bicentennial Tower (though it was closed) and on the waterfront. Parking was free in front of the parking garage. It is a short walk through a labyrinth with directional signs. Once there, we were seated right away for lunch right next to window view of Lake Erie. Our host and server were both friendly and helpful. The menu had decent options of salads and sandwiches. We both opted for the chicken sandwich with avocado, tomato, thick bacon, and a garlic aioli spread on a bun. It came with a plate load of fries, though the menu did not state that. Everything was delicious. We did, however, have to resort to deconstructing the sandwich for it was way too huge to eat, otherwise. Definitely, a worthy option.
